Sooner Geologists Go Everywhere
THE one particular field of workin which the University of Oklahoma ismost widely represented geographically isperhaps that of geology.Within the last few months, the geology
department sent a request for informationto 750 graduates and former major stu-dents in geology -all of those whose ad-dresses were available . Approximately halfof this group responded, an unusuallygood response in view of the fact thatmost geologists change addresses so rapid-ly that it is difficult to keep up with themby mail .The survey showed that all oil produc-
ing states and foreign countries are wellrepresented by O. U. geologists . And anastonishingly small percentage of the ge-ology alumni are earning their livelihoodin other lines of work .
It is not unreasonable to claim that thenew mineral wealth added to the nation'sresources by the efforts of this group hasamounted to enough to offset every dollarthat has been expended on the entire Uni-versity by the State of Oklahoma since theinstitution was founded.The School of Geology has had a re-
markable growth since it was establishedin 1901 as a department of geology withDr . Charles N. Gould as the first and onlyteacher.The total enrolment of the University
that year was only four hundred. Morethan three times that number are now en-rolled in some course in geology eachsemester, and approximately two hundredstudents are candidates for the degree ofBachelor of Science in Geology or Bachelorof Science in Geological Engineering.The faculty of the School of Geology
and the department of geology and geog-raphy now includes a total of fifteen full-time insrtuctors in addition to a full-timelibrarian . With this large staff the Uni-versity of Oklahoma is now equipped tooffer a greater number of specializedcourses in geology than almost any othercollege or university in the United States .The regular teaching staff is ably supple-mented by the part-time services of thestaff of the Oklahoma Geological Survey,by a special lecturer in geology, and by alarge number of men connected with thepetroleum industry who appear for one ormore lectures each semester.The rapid growth of the University as

There's No Test LikeThe Test of Time
Banks endure . Their record of longevity exceeds all other Ameri-
can business and social organizations .
There are 2,550 banks in the United States that are at least 50
years old . Of these, 226 are 100 years old or better .
There are only 1,317 industrial and mercantile establishments in
the United States over 50 years of age and only 404 schools, lodges and
other such organizations of that age . So there are 829 more banks in
the half century class than there are all other organizations of any
nature whatsoever .
And even in Oklahorna, a state that is comparatively new, many
banks have decades of service behind them . The First National Bank
and Trust Company is now in its fiftieth year . With its roots deep in
the pioneer past, this bank brings to its customers a strength to meetevery emergency . . . a strength to assure a maximum of safety and
service .
